Firstly, we would like to thank you all for being so supportive throughout 2017, we have exceeded a staggering 40,000 members, all of whom are incredibly important to us, not only because of the support but also because of the love and life you bring to the Centre.
This support has made a huge difference to many of our nominated charities and we're very proud to tell you that together we've raised well over £60,000 for charity throughout 2017. | | | So, with all your requests and interest in up and coming events, we are happy to say we have many of last year's favourites returning in 2018, as well as some new dates that are certain to excite!
